True Love Waits
The past, a memory covered in fog
As shadows hold court though they come and go
A silent movie without dialogue
A dark play with tears is now a freak show
You caused the stage to go black, in shadowed form
Where tears that fell silent tried to hide
And trembling hands were caught in love's storm
Lost in a cloud of anguish, love has died
Once we were lovers, we are nothing now
As we only have the sad tomorrow
And no one will be there to take a bow
Never understood time was to borrow
To be in love again, filled with wonder
To not be sad from love split asunder
We met again, upon the ocean shore
And felt the motion of its smoothest wave
To search for reasons of our love and more
Forgive the anger which became our grave
There between the soft sand and sky, we'll find
Love lost now found, grand as the widest view
A splendid world warm as the waves are kind
To wet our quiet eyes with love that's true
We'll hold the tender hand to bond as one
Watching footprints fade in the warmest sand
And see the red sky from the setting sun
Falling into the night 'till stars command
To feel each wave upon the smoothest skin
Touch the moment when we found love again
